1 Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 36(4), pp , A Revision of Hayline Stink Bug Genus Erthesina Spinola (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae) and Their Clasdistics IMTIAZ AHMAD, NASREEN MEMON AND SYED KAMALUDIN Department of Zoology, University of Karachi (IA), University of Sindh Jamshoro (NM), Federal University of Arts, Science an Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal Campus, Karachi (SK) Abstract.- Hayline stink bug genus Erthesina Spinola with its seven known world species is revised with brief distinguishing features and zoogeographical distribution. The characters of each taxon are scanned from the present descriptions and those given in the literature to date, and their apomorphic states are recognized, on the basis of out group comparison within the tribe Haylini at large. A cladogram is also constructed based on the principle of parisimony to throw light on the evolutionary relationships of the included taxa. Key words: Insects, Pentatomidae, Halyini, Erthesina, revision, Cladistics. INTRODUCTION Spinola (1837) described Erthesina to accommodate Cimex mucoreus F. (=fullo Thunberg) from Oriental region. Distant (1902) gave distinguishing features of the genus Erthesina and redescribed the type species fullo (Thunberg) alongwith acuminata Dallas and guttata (F.) from Sikhim, Burma, Bangladesh (Jessore), India, Sri Lanka, Andaman Island, China, Japan, Formosa, Hainan, north Bengal and Burma. Distant (1908) described E. robertsi from Sikhim and later (1918) described another species E. aberrans from north Bengal but his descriptions were mostly based on colour features. Ahmad et al. (1974) recorded E. fullo from different areas of NWFP in Pakistan and from Kashmir and Bangladesh. They also illustrated dorsal view and metathoracic scent complex through which it appears that they misidentified their species. Later Ahmad (1979, 1980) corrected this misidentification by recording E. fullo only from Bangaldesh and a manuscript species from different areas of Pakistan i.e. from Punjab and NWFP and Kashmir. Abbasi (1986) redescribed E. fullo from Pakistan following Ahmad et al. (1974) earlier misidentification, completely ignoring the new stand of Ahmad (1979, 1980) and his illustrations also appear to be incorrect especially of inflated aedeagus. Ahmad et al. (2002) redescribed E. fullo /2004/ $ 4.00/0 Copyright 2004 Zoological Society of Pakistan. highlighting the important features separating it from not only the described species but also from the above undescribed species from Pakistan. Ahmad et al. (2003) finally described his udnescribed species from Pakistan and Kashmir with special reference to metathoracic scent complex and male and female genitalia and gave a key to world species highlighting cladistic relationship of their new species with the included taxa. Presently therefore all the seven world species of Erthesina alongwith their brief distinguishing features and zoogeographical distribution are given and in this light a cladistic analysis is carried out and a cladogram is constructed on the principle of parsimony. MATERIALS AND METHODS The works on Erthesina Spinola by Dallas (1851), Distant (1902, 1908 and 1918), China (1925), Ahmad et al. (1974), Ahmad (1979), Abbasi (1986), Ahmad et al. (2002) and Ahmad et al. (2003) along with present descriptions were scanned for the taxonomic characters. The characters were randomly taken. The polarities of these were deduced not unreasonably. The characters were compared with those found in the out group within their tribe at large. No homoplasies had to be invoked. The results were compared with the obtained data by Ahmad et al. (2002, 2003) in their cladistic relationships. Plesiomorphic conditions showing primitive characters, represented by ao,

2 286 I. AHMAD ET AL. bo and co etc. have been listed in the Table I on characters and characteristics but not taken into consideration in cladogram (Fig. 3). Erthesina Spinola Erthesina Spinola 1837: 291; Distant 1902: 117; Ahmad et al., 1974: 54; Ahmad, 1979: 56: 1980; 137; Abbasi, 1986: 111; Ahmad et al., 2002: 67; Dave-Rider (in unpublished catalogue of Pentatomidae). Head long, anteriorly narrowed; antennae with basal segment not reaching head apex; labium with basal segment extending beyond the bucculae; metathoracic scent auricle remarkably elongated but its apex not at all reaching outer margin of evaporatoria; anterior and posterior tibiae dilated; in male pygophore with dorsomedian projection highly sclerotized, rectangular and bilobed; stem of paramere with inner spine; blade bilobed; inflated aedeagus with pair of bilobed dorsal membranous conjunctival appendages; in female spermathecal bulb large with three finger-like processes. Type species Erthesina fullo (Thunberg). China, Japan, Burma, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Sikhim and Andaman Island. This genus is most closely related to Dalpada Amyot and Serville in having bilobed paraclypei, basal antennal segment not reaching apex of head and anterior tibiae dilated but it can easily be separated from the same in having paraclypei apically acute, posterior tibiae dilated, humeral angles of pronotum sub-acute and by the other characters as noted in the description. Erthesina aberrans Distant (Figs. 1A, 1M) Erthesina aberrans Distant 1918: 121. Body ochraceous, thickly and coarsely punctate with black; antennae black, basal segment broadly streaked with ochraceous, other segments palely ochraceous at base; head pointed in front, distinctly shorter than pronotum, lateral margins a little before the apex of 1 st antennal segments spinously notched; antennae with basal segment stoutest, not reaching apex of head, 2 nd and 3 rd segments subequal, 4 th longest; pronotum with seven somewhat oblique longitudinal fasciae of dark punctures; anterior and posterior tibiae more or less normally dilated, all femora normal; membrane not extending beyond the abdominal apex; body length mm. This species is most closely related to robertsi Distant in having 2 nd and 3 rd antennal segments subequal and 4 th longer than both separately but it can easily be separated from the same in having antennae with basal segment broadly streaked with ochraceous, anterior and posterior tibiae more or less normally dilated, femora not peculiarly dilated and by the other characters as noted in the description. North Bengal. Erthesina acuminata Dallas (Fig. 2A) Erthesina acuminata Dallas 1851: 183; Distant 1902: 118. Body grayish testaceous, very thickly punctate with brown; antennae brown with the two apical segments pitchy, the base of the last segment orange; head remarkably pointed infront, more or less equal to pronotum, lateral margins slightly toothed near the apex; proportions of antennal segments mostly similar to that in E. fullo; labium long, reaching base of last abdominal segment; dilation of the anterior tibiae triangular; all femora normal; body length mm (remaining features mostly as in E. fullo). Sikhim, Assam, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China and Japan.

E. robertsi; M, and N, Membrane of hemelytra, dorsal view; M, E. aberrans, N, E. pakistanensis. This species appears isolated in the genus Erthesina in having head prominently acuminate anteriorly, labium long, reaching to base of 7th abdominal segment and by the other characters as noted in the description. Erthesina fullo (Thunberg) (Figs. 1B, D, G, 1; 2B, F) Cimex fullo Thunberg 1783: 42. Erthesina fullo, Dallas 1851: 183; Distant 1902: 117; Ahmad et al., 2002: 67-71; Ahmad et al. 2003; 181: 187.

4 288 I. AHMAD ET AL. Cimex mucoreus F., 1794: 117; Erthesina mucoreus, Spinola 1837: 291. Body testaceous brown with piceous or blackish tinge, darkly punctate; antennae brownish ochraceous; head moderately tapering at apex with lateral margins of paraclypei slightly sinuate, length more or less equal to pronotum; basal antennal segment never reaching head apex, second antennal segment slightly less than 2x basal and distinctly longer than 3 rd, 4 th less than ½ again longer than 3 rd, labium reaching 3 rd abdominal segment; both anterior and posterior tibiae moderately dilated; all femora normal; membrane of hemelytra well extending apex of abdomen; body length to mm. Apices of first gonocoxae and of 9 th paratergites narrowed but subrounded. This species is most closely related to pakistanensis in general appearance and colouration but it can easily be separated from the same in having, 2 nd antennal segment distinctly longer than 3 rd, labium reaching to third abdominal segment and by the other characters as noted in the description. Sikhim, North Bengal and Burma. Erthesina guttata (Fig. 2C) Cimex guttata F. 1787: 291; Erthesina guttata, Distant 1902: 118. Body olivaceous green, thickly punctate; pronotum, scutellum and corium speckled with small ochraceous collosities; labium reaching to fourth abdominal segment; anterior and posterior tibiae moderately lobately dilated; all femora normal; body length mm (remaining features mostly as in E. fullo). This species appears isolated among Erthesina species in having body olivaceous-green, labium reaching to fourth abdominal segment and by the other characters as noted in the description. Sri Lanka. Erthesina ilia China (Figs. 1J, 2D, G) Erthesina ilia China 1925: Body black with ochraceous spots and callosities, coarsely punctate; head tapering at apex, subequal to pronotal length; lateral margins slightly sinuate; antennae black, basal segment short, not reaching apex of head, 2 nd segment 2x the length of basal, 3 rd slightly shorter than 2 nd, 4 th 1½ x the length of 3 rd ; labium reaching middle of the 3 rd abdominal segment; anterior tibiae feebly dilated, entirely black, all femora normal; membrane of hemelytra slightly extending beyond the apex of the abdomen; body length 22.0 mm. Apices of 1 st gonocoxae and 9 th paratergites much narrowed, subacute. This species appears closely related to E. fullo and E. pakistanensis in having 2 nd and 3 rd antennal segments unequal in length but it appears isolated in its group in having head, pronotum, scutellum and legs black, membrane of hemelytra slightly extending beyond apex of abdomen, 2 nd antennal segment only slightly longer than 3 rd, fore tibiae only feebly dilated and by the other characters as noted in the description of both the species. China. Taxonomic note China (1925) on the one hand considered his species allied to fullo but on the other, on the basis of shape of dilation of tibiae regarded it very close to and probably synonymous with robertsi Distant (from north India) whose type according to him is a teneral specimen and therefore its contrasting colours from ilia is not reliable. China (op.cit.) ignored however that robertsi belongs to aberrans group with 2 nd and 3 rd antennal segments subequal in length, in which both anterior and posterior tibiae are not only much less but also laminately, not

Apices of 1 st gonocoxae and 9 th paratergites narrowed but subround. It is most closely related to fullo in general appearance but it can easily be separated from the same in having 2 nd antennal segment distinctly shorter than the 3 rd, labium of variable length reaching from middle of 3 rd upto 6 th abdominal venter and by the other characters as noted in the description of both the species. Punjab and NWFP in Pakistan and Kashmir.

Explanation of characters and character states. Body size (a) Body large-sized mm long or more than mm in length in robertsi, aberrans, acuminata, fullo, guttata, robertsi and pakistanensis shows their synapomorhic condition (a). Patches and pigmentations of head and antennae (b) Head and antennae slightly dark in most species reflect their synapomorphic state (b 1 ). Head and antennae light gray or brown with base of apical segments orange in acuminata show its autapomorphic condition (b 2 ). Head and antennae darker, somber, castaneous or nigrous in all Erthesina spp., except in acuminata show their synapomorphic condition (b 3 ). In guttata the head olivaceous green, coarsely punctate shows its more derived autapomorphic condition (b 4 ). Head ocharceous, prickly punctate with black in aberrants (and remaining taxa) shows its more derived autapomorphic state (b 5 ). Head black coarsely punctate in ilia appears most specialized autapomorphic condition (b 6 ). Colour of antennal segments (c) Antennae piceous with base of apical segment ochraceous (c 1 ). In robertsi antennae brownish ochraceous show derived autapomorphic condition (c 2 ). Antennal segments dark brown with basal portion of 4 th and 5 th segments ochraceous show more derived autapomorphic condition (c 3 ) in pakistanesis. In aberrans the antennae appear black having basal segments broadly streaked black with ochraceous and other segments pale ochraceous at base show its further derived autapomorphic state (c 4 ). In ilia antennae entirely black show its most derived autapomorphic condition (c 5 ). Ocelli (d) Ocelli pink in pakistanensis show its autapomorphic condition (d 1 ). In fullo the ocelli appear ochraceous and show derived autapomorphic state (d 2 ). Colour of pronotum, scutellum and corium (e) Pronotum and scutellum brownish black with ochraceous spots in pakistanensis and fullo show their synapomorphic condition (e 1 ). In robertsi the pronotum, scutellum and corium are testaceous brown with darkly punctate appearance show autapomorphic state (e 2 ). Pronotum, scutellum and corium with ochraceous spots and callosities in ilia show its more derived autapomorphic condition (e 3 ). Head / pronotal length (f) Head somewhat longer than pronotum in pakistanensis shows its autapomorphic condition (f 1 ). In aberrans head distinctly shorter than pronotum shows its derived autapomorphic state (f 2 ).

8 292 I. AHMAD ET AL. Head shape (g) Head less acuminate anteriorly in most Erthesina species except in acuminata shows synapomorphic condition (g 1 ). In acuminata much acuminate head shows its more derived autapomorphic state (g 2 ). Ratio of antennal segments (h and ha) Second antennal segments sub-equal to third in robertsi and aberrans show their synapomorphic condition (h 1 ). In ilia, fullo and pakistanensis 2 nd antennal segments shorter or longer than 3 rd show their derived synapomorphic condition (h 2 ). Second antennal segments only slightly longer than 3 rd in ilia show its more derived autapomorphic condition (h 3 ). Second antennal segments distinctly longer than 3 rd in fullo show its further derived autapomorphic condition (h 4 ). In pakistanensis 2 nd antennal segments distinctly shorter than 3rd show its remarkably derived autapomorphic state (h 5 ). In aberrans and robertsi 4 th antennal segments distinctly longer than 2 nd and 3 rd separately show their much derived synapomorphic state (h a1 ). In fullo and pakistanensis 4 th antennal segments about 1¼ x longer than 3 rd show their further derived synapomorphic condition (h a2 ). In ilia 4 th antennal segments 1½ x longer than 3 rd show its most derived autapomorphic state (h a3 ). Labial reach (i) Labium reaching from 3 rd to base of 7 th abdominal venter in aberrans, acuminata, guttata, fullo, ilia, pakistanensis and robertsi shows their synapomorphic condition (i 1 ). In ilia labium reaching to middle of 3 rd abdominal venter shows its autapomorphic state (i 2 ). In fullo labium well reaching to 3 rd abdominal venter shows its more derived autapomorphic state (i 3 ). Labium of variable length, reaching from 3 rd to base of 6 th abdominal venter in pakistanensis appears more derived state (i 4 ). Labium reaching 4 th abdominal venter in guttata shows its further derived autapomorphic condition (i 5 ). In robertsi labium well reaching to 5 th abdominal venter shows its further more derived state (i 6 ). In acuminata the labium reaching upto base of last abdominal venter shows its most derived state (i 7 ). Anterior and posterior femora (j) Anterior and posterior femora peculiarly dilated in robertsi show its autapomorphic state (j 1 ). Anterior and posterior tibiae (k) Anterior tibiae dilated in all the species of Dalpada show their synapomorphic condition (k 1 ). In all the representatives of the genus Erthesina the anterior and posterior tibiae are more or less dilated which show their derived synapomorphic state (k 2 ). In ilia anterior tibiae are feebly dilated which show its autamorphic state (k 3 ). In acuminata anterior tibiae are triangularly dilated which show its more derived autapomorphic state (k 4 ). In robertsi anterior and posterior tibiae are not lobately but laminately and much less dilated which show its most derived autapomorphic state (k 5 ). Reach of hemelytra (l) In most Erthesina species hemelytra reaching beyond apex of abdomen shows synapomorphic condition (l 1 ). In aberrans hemelytra short of abdomen shows derived autapomorphic state (l 2 ). Shape of 1 st gonocoxae and 9 th paratergites in female genitalia (m) Apices of 1 st gonocoxae and 9 th paratergites narrowed in fullo, pakistanensis and ilia show their synapomorphic condition (m 1 ). Apices of 1 st gonocoxae and 9 th paratergites subacute in ilia show its more derived state (m 2 ). DISCUSSION The genus Erthesina Spinola comprises seven world species viz., aberrans, acuminata, fullo, guttata, ilia, pakistanensis and robertsi with anterior and posterior tibiae dilated fall into two groups (Fig.3). Group I consists of only one species acuminata which plays out group relationships with the entire clade in having apomorphies of head much acuminate anteriorly (g 3 ) and labium very long reaching to base of abdominal venter (i 2 ). Group II again is divided into two subgroups. Subgroup-I includes only guttata with autapomorphies of head olivaceous green (b 4 ). The subgroup-ii is further divided into two minor subgroups. Subgroup-Ia includes robertsi and

Cladogram showing relationships of the included taxa. aberrans which play sister group relationships with each other and outgroup relationships with the remaining clade in having 2 nd and 3 rd antennal segments subequal (h 1 ). The second subgroup-ib includes fullo, ilia and pakistanensis, in which fullo and pakistanensis play sister group relationship with each other in having apomorphies of 4 th antennal segments about 1¼ x longer than 3 rd (h a2 ) while the species of ilia plays outgroup relationship with the former in having head entirely black and coarsely punctate (b 6 ). The present results generally support those of Ahmad et al. (2002, 2003).
